SETTING UP
Mount the platen knob
The platen knob is packed into a recess of the white foam packing
material which held your printer inside the packing box. Be careful to remove
the knob before disposing of the packing.
Mount the platen knob on its shaft on the right side of the printer. Turn
it until you can push it in all the way.
Power should always be off when you turn the platen knob. Turning
the platen by hand while power is on can damage the printer’s gears.
Remove the top cover
Lift the front edge of the printer’s clear plastic top cover. Then disengage
the tabs at the back of the cover and remove the cover completely.
